We were hotter than Venus was at the time, before the Cyanobacteria Oxygenation Extinction event a few billion years ago

Technically Venus would be way easier than Mars to terraform. Throw oceans worth of ice asteroids at the planet and seed it with cyanobacteria, and wait. They’ll eat up all that tasty methane.

I thought the theory was that aliens have been farming us to heat up the planet to make it more hospitable for their reptilian species?

Which is ridiculous, because if that was how evolution worked, wouldn’t it make more sense for that carbon to have never been sequestered in the first place?

I assume it’s a tight-fitting space suit

They’ve evolved beyond our prudish sense of “decency”
